What would bubble tea be without the tea?
Going back to the research...
Two of our travel bubble researchers took it upon themselves to find out just that.
Mission: to find out exactly how important tea is in bubble tea.
Location: Vancouver, Canada. Home to some of the best bubble tea in the World.
Researchers: Agent Bubble07 with the help of Miss Mango Pobbles.
Strategy: visit as many bubble tea shops, assess their popularity and determine what makes them popular. From there, find out if there is a link between popularity and the use of freshly brewed tea in bubble tea shops.
Findings:
My apologies to our dear agents for divulging the following information, but to be honest, they did not have a clue of how to approach this scientifically! Instead of just drinking enough bubble tea to make a sound conclusion they went on a binge bubble tea drinking spree! They are now suffering from withdrawal symptoms and lowered their consumption to one bubble tea per day. It's been tough and our heart goes out to them, we all know how easy it is to become a bubble tea addicted lover!
Agent Bubble07 and Miss Pobbles both concluded that indeed, the most popular bubble tea shops in Vancouver used freshly brewed tea in many of their drinks! Although bubble tea does not require tea to taste good, there are certain recipes that are so much better when tea is used, such as Lemon-Kumquat slush. When our agents tried one from a shop that uses tea head to head with another one from a shop that doesn't they clearly found that there definitely is a connection between the places with a large queue and those without!
We had one question to our agents, as bubble tea barista trainers we couldn't help but wonder:
In England, people are not so fond of Iced Tea, what would the reaction be if we make our bubble tea with cold tea?!
To this, Agent Bubble07 replied:
That is the trick that requires practise. Bubble Tea masters like the ones from the most popular Bubble Tea shop in Vancouver, Dragon Ball, have their method well under control. So much so that unless you are a veteran bubble tea conoiseur, in some of their delicious recipes you will never know there is tea. In others, the tea is very present, but pleasantly mixed with your choice of flavour.
